      What’s that supposed to mean?‎ I didn’t say it was the most expensive… but it surely ranks among the Top30. Unfortunately I know what I’m talking about!

guys just because a city is expensive that does not mean that people live well, believe me , I have traveled enough, so the folks from the states should be happy that your cost of living is actually low, you can afford bigger homes, bigger cars, more food and lower costs…not bad…
